Summary
Inflation’s back on the rise, sending shockwaves through the economy as August’s consumer price index surged 0.4%, pushing annual inflation to 3.4%. Core inflation—excluding food and energy—also climbed unexpectedly, fueled by a nearly 4% spike in gas prices and rising shelter and transportation costs. Markets are now betting the Fed will hike rates by a quarter-point next week, reversing recent patience as oil prices climb and inflation shows signs of stubborn persistence. With the Fed’s target of 2% inflation still out of reach, policymakers may have no choice but to act—even if some officials had hoped for more time.
